Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2398230A2] The image sensor has matrix of photosensitive pixels (10) which are organized in rows and columns. The analog-to-digital converters are provided for each column and receiving outputs of pixels of column through column bus. A control circuit is configured to organize read of pixels on column busses and write of outputs of converters respectively in memory cell matrices so as to store accumulated brightness levels of rows of pixel matrix portions in row of memory cell matrixes. An adder is connected to sum levels accumulated in row of memory cell matrixes. An independent claim is included for method for managing time-delay-integration image sensor.
